 Emaj7
Yes I do, I believe
That one day I will be, where I was
                            Amaj7
Right there, right next to you
And it's hard, the days just seem so dark
The moon, the stars, are nothing without you

      Emaj7
Your touch, your skin, where do I begin?
                                           Amaj7
No words can explain, the way I'm missing you
Deny this emptiness, this hole that I'm inside
These tears, they tell their own story

     F#m             A           C#m     B
You told me not to cry when you were gone
         F#m           A                  B7    B
But the feelings overwhelming, it's much too strong

Chorus:
    E              C#m           F#m  A
Can I lay by your side, next to you, you
     E                  C#m
And make sure you're alright
                   F#m
I'll take care of you
       A
And I don't want to be here if
Esus4              E
I can't be with you tonight

     Emaj7
I'm reaching out to you
                 Amaj7
Can you hear my call?
      Emaj7
This hurt that I've been through
                                 Amaj7
I'm missing you, missing you like crazy

Chorus:
    E              C#m           F#m  A
Can I lay by your side, next to you, you
     E                  C#m
And make sure you're alright
                   F#m
I'll take care of you
       A
And I don't want to be here if
Esus4              F#m  A  D  B7
I can't be with you tonight

 F#m    A      D    B7
Lay me down tonight
 F#m    A       D   B7
lay me by your side
 F#m    A      D    B7
Lay me down tonight
 F#m    A       D   B7
lay me by your side

    E              C#m           F#m  A Esus4 E
Can I lay by your side, next to you, you
